Timothy Murphy was 21 when he disappeared from Niagara Falls, New York, in late 1983. He had been staying at the local YMCA and was last seen on November 22, 1983. When a YMCA employee did a room check the next morning his bed and belongings were still there, but Timothy was gone.

At the time he was six feet tall, about 180 pounds, with long brown hair, a full beard, and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a blue jacket, blue jeans, and work boots. The Niagara Falls Police Department was notified on November 24, 1983, and opened an investigation; initial days produced few clues and no immediate signs of foul play, and very few leads have emerged since.

Anyone who knew Timothy, saw him in Niagara Falls around November 22, 1983, or has information that could help investigators is asked to come forward.
